PELL CITY, Ala. (AP) — A pared-down state board of education has passed a new policy denying illegal immigrants admission to Alabama’s two-year colleges.

The policy, which takes affect next spring, was passed on a 4-0 vote Thursday, with one member abstaining. Three others were absent, as was Gov. Bob Riley, the board’s president.
